Can Cadby still play these?

Can Cadby still play these?

If he gives up his PDC Tour Card then yes, otherwise he will only be allowed to play one weekend

[Sultan Pepper]

Any idea what the prize money is for these (if there is any)?

[mc1958]

Looking on the facebook page the payouts look to be as follows:

Winner - $1500
Runner up - $700
Semi finalists - $300
Last 8 - $100
Last 16 - $50
Last 32 - $25


Entry to each event looks like it is $125.


EDIT: the $125 entry cost is for the whole weekend of 4 events - it is $180 for the weekend with 6 events

[mc1958]

The calendar for 2019 is now on the DPA site so I have updated the initial post as the dates for events 13 to 22 have changed

[Banz]

Pine Rivers is just up the road from me so I should go and have a look really.

$125 is a bit rich for me for entry, especially as I doubt I'd be able to commit to Friday night and all the whole weekend. There are standards there that I'd have a chance against and then the likes of the lads who were recently at the Ally Pally and Aus World Series events who would destroy me.

[Zeyes]

That's for a full weekend of four tournaments, not per event.

[mc1958]

The posters just say entry $125 and don't clarify, but it would make more sense it's the whole weekend given the prize money involved. I just had a quick look and the one for the weekend with 6 events is $180.

I believe it is for the whole weekend.  I think last year it was $40 an event which was good if you wanted to dip in for one but this way makes sense for the committed.

yes it is the whole weekend - Zeyes confirmed that the post above mine

Looks like Cadby will only be allowed to play one weekend of the DPA Tour this year - he has apparently renewed his tour card for this year, so presumably he has now got his visa issues all sorted and will be over here in the UK sometime in the near future.

[Mack]

It may do but given his past record I'll believe it when I see it

[mc1958]

Just seen the entry list for events 1 to 4 starting 1st February and Cadby isn't on there, so I'm guessing what I said above is correct and he has now resolved his visa issues (hopefully he has anyway).

Do you know when we'll know for sure?  By that I mean, which is the first tournament that he will be qualified to play in if his visa is sorted?
